With energy costs rising and more of us working from home, there has never been a better time to install solar panels and reduce your monthly electricity bills... Did you know that 17600+ homeowners in Norfolk are already taking advantage of renewable energy solutions like Solar PV?
Solar panels, also known as Solar Photovoltaics (Solar PV), are a reliable source of electricity that harnesses energy from the sun. They produce electricity from daylight, eliminating the need for direct sunlight.
When placed on rooftops or ground level in, solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) voltage. An inverter then converts the DC voltage into “usable” alternating current (AC) voltage that powers your household appliances. Any excess electricity can be put in battery storage which we recommend for our clients that can afford optimal battery storage and for those with a smaller budget and/or that prefer it the excess electricity can be sold back to the National Grid under the governments SEG tariff.
With a minimum power output guarantee of 25 years, solar panels are a reliable and low-maintenance energy solution for residents and businesses. With Industry technologies continually improving and panel efficiency recently reaching above 30% the future is looking bright for solar energy.
Why we think it’s a good choice…
Energy costs are continuing to rise, and one way to help reduce them is by installing solar panels to your home or business. Investing in solar technology can offset the rising energy costs for the next 25 to 40 years.

This does not rule out the possibility of installing solar panels on rooftops with an east or west orientation. If your roof is oriented differently, you will most certainly still notice significant benefits.
The morning sun will be reflected off an east-facing roof, whereas the afternoon and evening sun will reflect off a west-facing roof.
North-facing roof orientations are not ideal for solar energy capture, with the addition of optimizers you can boost your panels output where shading occurs.
Solar PV panels are known as a "permitted development". This means that for most domestic properties, planning permission is not required.
On listed building and in conservation areas please contact your local planning authority before commencing work.
According to OVO Energy, the typical UK household uses 3,760 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity each year.
A 4kW system would generate around 3,400 kWh per annum which would almost completely net off your annual consumption. Our guidelines for system size would be:
3kW - small house
4kW - medium house
5kW - large house
6kW and larger - dependent on requirements
It may make sense to do a number of things whilst scaffolding is erected.
We are happy to leave the scaffolding in place if you want to paint the house or do any other maintenance.
One of the most obvious things would be to finish the rest of the roof in a similar colour or finish. We have over 30 years of experience in the roofing trade and are happy to quote for this additional work.
We will start by surveying your roof, ensuring that the structure is suitable for installation and booking you in for a work date.
Once on-site, we will erect scaffolding and fit mounting equipment ready for the panels, Once the roof is complete our certified electricians will commission the system and install inverter and battery (if required). We will test the system, run you through a demonstration and finally provide you with a certificate of compliance.
